My biggest concern is finding a way to fit in Hampson, Aisakie and Kreuzer into the same senior team. They're all too good NOT to have in the 22.
Kreuzer is too good NOT to play in the ruck.
Hampson is too effective with taps not to play in the ruck.
Aisakie wins damn near everything but needs to concerntrate on taps to advantage, but again - Must play in the ruck.
Both Aisakie and Kreuzer will be most effective when they are playing as a Ruck/Rover.
Anybody got any ideas?

All a bit like Greg Dear at the moment - skinny beanpoles...
I don't think Aisake or Kruezer have the bean pole body of Greg Dear, and Hampson looks to have the body type that can be built up (top half).
I think at centre bounces, the most important thing in 2008 is that we are not beaten. With these athletic ruckmen (esp Hampson, and to a lesser extent Aisake) they can use their spring to advantage to atleast nullify if not win the ruck contest; that's a whole lot better than 2007.
Around the ground, where their body weight may not be enough to out muscle the likes of Cox, Lade, Brogan, King... (not many monsters out there anymore), then perhaps one goes up for the body against body stuff, whilst the second plays as a RR and jumps over both of them. After all they have the attributes athletically of a RR and therefore can be around the contest.
With this sort of advantage, set plays will be worth pursuing in 2008, and to the advantage of Judd, Stevens, Murphy, Gibbs, Walker, Carrazzo and Simpson (very handy midfied rotation there).
I can see Kruezer, easily becoming a better CHF than Kennedy (no disrepect to Josh), if need be.
These 3 ruckmen-RR's will leave opposition coaches dumbfounded.
